Uses

Octaethylene glycol monohexadecyl ether, is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in various industrial and research applications. Octaethylene glycol monohexadecyl ether belongs to the family of polyethylene glycol (PEG) ethers with a hydrophilic head and lipophilic tail, suitable for use in lotions, detergents and solubilizers. Octaethylene glycol monohexadecyl ether is particularly useful in the study of membrane proteins, where it is used to solubilize and stabilize proteins for structural analysis techniques. In addition, Octaethylene glycol monohexadecyl ether has the ability to interact with and penetrate cell membranes, so it has potential applications in drug delivery and other medical fields.
